Common use of Contestable Claims Clause in Contracts

Contestable Claims. You will immediately notify us if you intend to contest, compromise or litigate a claim involving reinsurance. If we prefer not to participate in the contest, we will notify you of our decision within fifteen days of our receipt of all documents requested, and we will immediately pay you the full amount of reinsurance due. Once we have paid our reinsurance liability, we will not be liable for legal and/or investigative expenses and we will have no further liability for expenses associated with the contest, compromise or litigation. When we agree to participate in a contest, compromise or litigation involving reinsurance, you will give us prompt notice of the beginning of any legal proceedings involving the contested policy. You will promptly furnish us with copies of all documents pertaining to a lawsuit or notice of intent to file a lawsuit by any of the claimants or parties to the policy. We will share in the payment of legal or investigative expenses relating to a contested claim in the same proportion as our liability bears to your liability. We will not reimburse expenses associated with non-reinsured policies. If your contest, compromise or litigation results in a reduction in the liability of the contested policy, we will share in the reduction in the same proportion that the amount of reinsurance bore to the amount payable under the terms of the policy on the date of death of the insured.
